RALEIGH
As Roy Cooper works to move 16 years’ worth of papers and personal items out of the attorney general’s office, one of his former deputies will begin moving his own things in.
Josh Stein was sworn in as the state’s new attorney general Sunday at noon, about 12 hours after his old boss took the oath of office to become governor.
Stein was Cooper’s senior deputy attorney general for consumer protection in 2001-08 before resigning to run for the N.C. Senate. A Democrat, he represented Cary and other parts of Wake County in 2009-16.
Now, as attorney general, Stein will be the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement officer. Building on his roots in consumer protection, he said families in North Carolina will get much of his attention for the four years of his term.

I think he'll be a good right-hand man for Governor Cooper.
